NORTH Wales detectives were last night questioning three people after seizing a huge haul of stolen goods. Copies of cult computer game Enter the Matrix, worth almost #340,000, were recovered by police in Wrexham.

Detectives described the haul of stolen property as one of the biggest ever found in north east Wales.

Officers recovered more than 550 boxes containing the popular Playstation 2 game from a white Ford Iveco truck after raiding an address in Wrexham late on Wednesday evening.

They also discovered about 250 CD players.

The goods were reportedly stolen from a lorry parked up at a motorway service station on the M40 near Banbury, in Oxfordshire.

A 24-year old man and a 22-year-old woman, both from the Wrexham area, were arrested at the premises. A 39-year old man from Llandudno was detained later.

Det Insp John Rowlands said all three were being questioned at Wrexham police station.

Last night it emerged detectives from Thames Valley Police were travelling to North Wales to help in the inquiry.

A Thames Valley Police spokesman said officers were told of the theft shortly before 8am on Wednesday.

He told the Daily Post: "A French lorry driver had parked his vehicle at the Cherwell Valley service area on Tuesday evening.

"When he returned on Wednesday morning he found that the curtain-sided vehicle had been broken into and the property taken."
